Former Oregon associate athletic director Craig Pintens has been named the athletic director at Loyola Marymount University.

Pintens, who joined Oregon in 2011 as the school's associate AD for marketing and public relations, will be an athletic director for the first time in his career.

Pintens will start on June 25. He replaces outgoing Athletic Director William S. Husak, who is retiring after 20 years at LMU.

"I am honored to lead LMU's athletic programs, and look forward to building the next generation of Lion champions," Pintens said in a release. "LMU is a top-tier university with a celebrated athletics history in the heart of a dynamic global city. We will compete for championships, we will graduate our student-athletes and we will make the LMU community proud. I thank President Snyder for this incredible opportunity and Jill, our children and I cannot wait to join the LMU family."

Pintens previously worked at LSU, Marquette and Texas-Pan American. At Oregon, Pintens oversaw marketing, ticket sales and strategy, ticket operations and service, digital/social media and licensing, according to GoDucks.com

"Craig Pintens will be a game changer for the LMU Lions," LMU president Timothy Law Snyder said. "He is a leader, a champion, a builder, and a collaborator who will challenge our student-athletes to be fierce competitors with purpose and integrity. Together with our coaches, he will lionize our athletics programs and amplify LMU's renown."
